I remember watching the movie Shaka Zulu and being mesmerized by the deep dark eyes and persona of Henry Cele. He was a wonderful and talented actor. He has truly made us proud and I salute the genius in him. He will live on forever in our memories and hearts.

I just finished watching shaka zulu for the thousandth time probably!I first watched it as a kid,nothing else good was on public television.I am so glad I did,that movie especially Mr.Henry Cele was epic.He truly turned into Shaka ,what a powerful force that man was.so I decided to look up Mr.Cele and I found this,sad to hear.I just wanted to say that I think Henry Cele was a spectacular actor and a very handsome and magnetic one.r.I.p. and blessings to his family.

I remember when the series aired on PBS in the early 80's, but wasn't able to see it as we lived in the country and couldn't pick up the signal. But, thanks to Netflix, I was finally able to see his fine performance as the African king and legend. I was so sorry to hear he has passed on. My sympathies to his family, and you should be so very proud of his legend!

I am so glad to see a padre devoted to this man. I remember watching Chaka Zulu on tv when it originally aired in America in the 80's...not to long after I'd just studied Chaka Zulu as well as other great Kings &amp; Queens of Africa in University. It was refreshing to see such strength &amp; intelligence displayed in a tv role played by a Black (African) male at that time. He became my teen idol and I've been in love every since. Now I have my OWN African male who also exhibits such strength. My African love is Yoruba but manifest the same strength &amp; intelligence that Mr cele modeled in that role for me as a youth. I thank both Mr Cele and my own father for that!! Mr Cele you &amp; your talent are truly missed!!!I wish UE family a Happy New Year!
